You Will Need (5 things)

  • Cloth book cloth
  • Bone Folder
  • Decorative Paper
  • PVA Glue
  • bookboard Board(s)

Steps (6 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    One by one, glue and secure the walls to the base.

  2. 2

    Once you have secured all the walls, let the inner box set for about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Once it is set, you can begin to cover it with your choice of paper. Cut a piece of paper long enough to wrap around the entire box, and leave extra room on the top and bottom to wrap underneath and inside. Set aside and work on the cover.

  4. 4

    Glue the front and back covers and the spine of the box to the back of the book cloth. Fold and glue the book cloth around the covers and spine.

  5. 5

    This is what the cover looks like before you decorate it! You can glue papers onto the front and inside of the covers…

  6. 6

    Once the paper is glued on, glue the inner box onto the inside of the back cover.
